Does that mean it's harder to tell where something is if you know its temperature?

  Is this a picture taken off a tv screen?

    Good lord, is she always that stunningly pretty?

    I've never watched more than a few episodes of Enterprise. Is it worth the investment? Is there a cut of it with that godforsaken theme song removed, or replaced with something more palatable like two dozen screaming goats?

      Love it or hate it, almost every Trek series has its eye-candy characters who keep us from revolting when the writers drop the ball. T'Pol did about as much heavy lifting in that department as Seven, and I'm pretty OK with that.

      Never has the “skip intro” button received as much action as when I watched Enterprise.

      Jolene Blalock? Yes. Watch Enterprise if you want to see her butt. :D

      Hey, some of us are proud to have faith of the heart!

      But I understand. There are fan edits on YouTube that use the credits theme (Archer’s Theme) as the title theme and it works really well. You could do an audio swap on your own rips with an app like Handbrake.

      Me upon seeing this particular meme more then any other: “i should really start watching star trek”

      Like most Star Trek, the first couple seasons are a bit rough. The problem is they killed off Enterprise after only 4 seasons, meaning the ratio of good to bad isn’t great. And the series finale is god awful. Still, I liked it more than Voyager.

    If you know the episode I can remake the template

  Cold wind is slow-moving particles hitting you at high speed.

    I’m sorry, but THE WINDS I FEEL ARE ONLY WINDS OF CHANGE! 🎸🎶❤️

    The winds of winter do move slowly…

  Well akshually...

  …what is measured is the average kinetic energy (mass times speed squared divided by two), so if you multiply by two times the Boltzmann constant divided by the particle’s mass and take the square root, yes, you do get the particle speed (assuming all the particles have the same mass and speed, which they don’t lol) nice meme tho

    Actually actually Temperature is expressed as the inverse of the rate of change of entropy with internal energy, which in normal materia in normal states translate to average particles speed, but in extreme cases entropy can start to decrease with increasing energy and vice versa

    • MrPoopyButthole@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yep, entropy is the key word here. Amount of different possible states -> “random” vectors of inertia + particles speed -> higher temperature. If all the particles were going in the same direction -> lack of different states -> low entropy (which can still be high energy, but measured as low temp). AKA what laser cooling does.

      I’m taking cell biophysics right now and your comment is triggering me.

  The more precisely momentum is known, the less precisely is its position known and vice versa. As for how temperature affects these measurements, the velocity of atoms and molecules isnt a sharp peak but a probability distribution.

    IIUC extremely cold substances turn into so-called Bose-Einstein condensates because their temperature (hence speed) is so tightly controlled that their location becomes more “spread out” in terms of probability. And you can’t fix its location without raising the temperature.

    • xkforce@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Sort of. It has to do with certain matter (they have to be neutral bosons i.e particles with integer spin and no overall charge) being so cold that there arent really any higher energy quantum states for things to be in. So everything is essentially in the same state and functionally indistinguishable. Which is why not everything can form a bose einstein condesate.

  So speedometers are just thermometers for cars?
